Question 57
A spacecraft in 550km circular orbit passes
directly over a ground station. The ground
station uses a circular parabolic antenna with a
diameter of 5m and perfect efficiency. The
spacecraft is broadcasting at 12W at 825MHz
using an omni antenna. Find the received signal
strength in dBW. Use c=299792458m/s
Question 58
A signal is increased in power from 4W to 7W.
What is the gain in dB?
